won't start your labor!! it will probably make you gag yourself into wetting your pants. i know this probably strange...have "GREAT" sex...for YOU. unless your water has broken. also, call your dr, and ask her/him.....you can at least have one more good time...when you have to wait 6 weeks (or more) before you get the chance again....
sorce....2 delivered boys!

I started raking leaves when I was 13 days overdue. I still ended up gettin induced. Don't take the castor oil - you will get incredible instestinal cramps (poo cramps) and they will make you more uncomfortable than you already are. Castor oil is a laxative not for birthing. SOmeone said a bumpy car ride does the trick...I have had friends try that and it worked. No rollercoaster though! It will be over soon girlfriend!

If you want to have diarrhea and abdominal cramping.... go ahead and take it. But as a labor inducer IT DOES NOT WORK!! I am sure several women will refute this based on personal expenrience BUT in studies Castor Oil does not work.
Also if you read more info about Castor oil and the potent poision Ricin which is also made from Castor Beans, you may never want to take castor oil again!!!

No...go for a walk. The baby will come when it's ready. Take a walk or a bath. Look into other labor inducers, castor oil is not good for you or your baby. Good luck!

No, castor oil is not safe. Go for a nice long walk or go shopping! I shopped for 4 hours and I had my baby the same day!

no don't take that it can give you the ****s and not very go for you either try green raspberry tea the reason doters tell you not to take this while pregnant is because it can make you start having contractions i know when my son was over due i drank 2 coffee cups of the green raspberry tea yes its not the best tasting but lets just say that i had contractions in about 2 hours time after drinking it and they stayed consistent 3 min apart and my son was born the next morning at 6.30am and was healthy and alert . good luck

I took it with my last pregnancy. I was violently ill throwing up and had diarrea. Not a fun time. :( Try walking or sex. And if you want to try something to stimulate the bowel to make the uterus contract you may try an enema- same results as the castor oil without all of the yuckiness.

i have personally tried that and it was terrible ..i can still taste it when i think about it ..and its been 6 yrs. ago lol..it did work for me on 1 out of two babies.but i have found that sex,walking,and squats with your legs apart seems to work much better.(doctors advice) and it really worked...i regret the castor oil..because now i think god wanted my baby born on a different day than it was for some reason...don't rush the baby their is a reason why he/she is still in there maybe something still needs work,to make your baby a perfect angel..congrats on your baby and good luck!!

I know you are tired of being pregnant and are ready to see your baby, but you just have to be patient. The baby will come when it is ready and there really isn't anything you can do to make it happen sooner. I know it's hard, but you just have to be patient and let nature take its course.
